Clerecia (Iglesia del Espiritu Santo), Salamanca

Our 2019 Spain travel was filled with adventure, great food & wine and history. The Pontifical University of Salamanca has its own church and the altars are exquisite. These are positioned between the columns where Carrara marble plays a part on the grandiosity of the interior. The height of the ceiling, the narrow positioning of the altars, add to the magic of the building and we can either pray or reflect at each of these exquisite works of art. Why choose Salamanca? Salamanca is a beautiful and friendly city in the northwest of Spain, 212 km from Madrid, in the autonomous community of Castile and Leon. A small city of more than 160,000 inhabitants , its relatively large student population of approximately 35,000 gives the city a cosmopolitan, hospitable and pleasant edge.
